Novel gold(I) trithiophosphite complexes were synthesised by utilising the ligands P(SR)3 (R = Me, Ph) and 1,2-bis(1,3,2-dithiaphospholan-2-ylthio)ethane (2L). Reaction with (tht)AuCl or (tht)AuC6F5 readily yielded the ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Pt(JV) complexes with S, 0-donating aroylthioureas have been synthesized by oxidative addition of elemental halogens to the Pt(JJ) precursors, leading to the first-reported crystal structures of Pt(JV) ...

Alkylated acetonitrile that forms during the synthesis of the sulfonium salt, [(Me3)2(MeS)S][BF4], is involved in the formation of new , -unsaturated Fischer-type carbene complexes from (CO)5M=C(OMe)CH2Li (M = Cr, W). ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: DFT calculations employing the B3LYP functional were done to investigate the mechanism for the Ni-catalyzed hydrocyanation of ethylene as proposed by Tolman. Although this reaction is an important industrial ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The general objective of this research was to develop a new approach to direct templating, where the organised phases of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes are used as hosts for organic polymerisation ...
